Introduction

Welcome to “Nothing New.” The goal of my blog in the past has been to stimulate discussion about all things related to CBC, the Christian life, and the world at large. But it has recently been hijacked by my cancer and treatment. This means I have to eat some crow (which I hate) because early on I boldly claimed I would not allow my condition to take center stage in my life.

But it is taking center stage on my blog – for a while. I am rather torn about this development. I am uncomfortable making this all about me – because it’s not. It is strangely therapeutic for me to blog about this, however, and I cannot express even a fraction of my appreciation for everyone who reads and leaves their funny, weird, and /or encouraging words in comments and emails.

So please join with me in dialogue. I always look forward to reading your comments. (If you'd like to follow my cancer journey from day 1, please go to my post on 6/25/08 - Life Takes Guts - in the archives and follow the posts upwards from there.)

Don't Visit This Website Yet

I’m serious. Don’t click this link yet.

Abort73.com

I am honored to serve on the board of directors for
Life Choices, Inc. in Conway, AR. We provide services to women in crisis pregnancy situations, always with the aim of preventing abortions. It is a wonderful organization with compassionate and dedicated staff. I would encourage you to visit their website and consider supporting the ministry there.

When I was approached with the idea of serving on the board of directors, I was already well acquainted with the biblical and spiritual evidence against abortion. But I was less versed in the secular evidence. It turns out there are compelling biological, political, conditional, and philosophical arguments against abortion.

Abort73.com

Abort73.com provides these arguments. At some point, you need to visit the website. But please, be sure you are ready. It is heavy stuff. The videos are intense. You should especially watch the first video that comes up after you click on
The Case Against Abortion. But get your heart and mind in the right place before checking it out. Prepare to be confronted with the brutal and graphic truth of abortion.

From the Abort73 MySpace page:
Abort73.com is an exhaustive, online resource that comprehensively exposes the hidden violence and injustice of abortion. Even though abortion is one of the most common surgical procedures in the U.S., the average American knows almost nothing of its grim reality. High schools and universities go to great lengths to graphically expose the dangers of smoking, drunk-driving and STDs, but take a pass when it comes to accurately teaching about abortion. Abort73.com exists to tell you what almost no one else is, so go ahead, we dare you to know.

When you have some time to spend and when you are ready, THEN go visit this website:

Abort73.com

Then support causes that prevent abortions.
Remember the issue when you vote.
Reach out to women at risk for abortions.
And minister to those who have already had abortions.

Lord forgive me I never knew.

I received an email today from someone I know. She reminded me of her story, which includes the fact that she is a product of her mother being raped.

She sent me a private message and later gave consent for me to post this excerpt....

"I've been asked numerous times... why I'm so pro-life. Seeing that website just solidified it even more for me. I don't see how some doctors, nurses, lawyers, and other professionals could do something like kill a small, helpless child just because it is deemed an "inconvenience". Even though my mom did consider aborting me, I don't see how someone could kill their own child.

Abort73.com was definitely some food for thought, although it was a bitter thing to swallow at times. Thank you for posting something about that website. People do need to see abortion for what it really is. If Mom wouldn't have listened to Dad during her fourth month of pregnancy, I would've been one of those pictures.

I may not be the brightest or most successful person on the planet (I am far from that, trust me), but I'm a human being despite what others would've said about me before birth. Why doesn't the world see this?"

This is just too heavy to comment on but has certainly caused me to think!

Thank you for sharing this very informative website. I've seen similar pictures before, but the detail in which the procedures are described (in contrast to how providers describe them) is striking. This should be required reading/viewing in all high schools and doctor's offices.
